This is my glute update HAHA
Leaving for the gym soon to train it! I tried for a long time to change the shape and size of my butt… Pilates, leg lifts.. those silly “butt toning” exercises you see in women’s magazines. The ONLY thing that changed the size and shape of this derrière was barbell squats, stiff-leg deadlifts, weighted lunges, leg presses and other weight-bearing exercise. Thanks to BODYBUILDING workouts, it is finally becoming something I’m PROUD of instead of embarrassed by.
The thing is definitely growing (as my mom and dad have both assured me). For the first time, I’m actually PROUD of it. I used to have a small pancake butt (my mom affectionately referred to it as a “teacup butt”… as in it could fit in a teacup) -__-
Well, let’s just say she no longer refers to it as such! ;)
After months of strict clean eating, ZERO booze and 5-6 days a week of weight training, I finally started to get my body to a place where I was happy. I became more comfortable in my own skin and I felt more confident. I had never felt like that before. I know eating healthy, skipping the wild parties and dessert and going to the gym at 6 am was extremely hard… I won’t lie.. I’d much rather have eaten pizza, kicked back some beers and slept in til 11… but in the end it was all worth it. And I couldn’t quite kick those healthy habits. Sure after that I had a few beers and chocolate cake every once in awhile, I missed a workout, I gained and lost a few pounds… but I didn’t give up. That is the most important thing….. I did NOT give up! If you give up, you are only giving up on yourself. You don’t fail until you quit… so DON’T QUIT!
